78 RPM RECORD GRADING

This  record was visually examined and played through with no skips or repeats.   Any chips or other damage is noted in the description.  I am not a expert on 78 RPM records and I tried to be conservative in grading.


N- (Nearly Mint Plus) Condition. Nearly Mint, but has been played. No visible signs of wear or damage.

E+ (Excellent Plus) Condition.  Plays like new.  Very few signs of handling, such as tiny scuffs from being slipped in and out of jackets.

E (Excellent) Condition.  Still very shiny, near new looking, with no visible signs of wear, but a few inaudible scuffs and scratches.

E- (Excellent Minus) Condition.  Still shiny but without the lustre of a new record, has a few light audible scratches.

V+ (Very Good Plus) Condition.  Scuffs and use have dulled the finish somewhat. Wear is moderate but playing is free from distortion. Surface noise not overly pronounced.

V  (Very Good) Condition. Moderate, even wear throughout. Surface noise and scratches audible but not intrusive.

V- (Very Good Minus) Condition.   Music remains loud. Surface noise and scratches.

G+ (Good Plus) Condition.  Surface noise throughout but music is audible. Heavy scratches.

G  (Good) Condition.   Quite seriously worn and scratched, but music level is higher than surface noise.  

G- (Good Minus) Condition.   Music still prominent, but wear and scratch damage extensive.

F  (Fair) Condition.   Most of the music remains audible over surface noise, but listening is uncomfortable.
